Abstract
The performance and service reliability of capacitors impregnated with phthalate esters compare favorably with those observed in capacitors using polychlorinated biphenyls. The esters are combustible liquids having high flash and fire points. The fire hazards involved in their use can be minimized by incorporating effective fuses in the capacitors.
